Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 821 The Ministry of Defense’s Troubles
The next day, major media outlets across the United States reported almost simultaneously that Bao Zixuan had returned to the United States. This idol of young people around the world has gained a large number of fans with his confidence, sunny temperament and professional attitude.
Among them, the Boston Post, as the media with the best relationship with Bao Zixuan and the media that recognized him the most, praised Bao Zixuan very well.
Straight out of the headlines, MIT's bag is back. It can be said that Bao Zixuan and MIT are closely connected. This is a headache for the Department of Defense. After all, even MIT cannot afford to offend.
In the past, funding from the military might have been needed, but now MIT is definitely not short of money. Heiyun Group cooperates with MIT on many projects every year; not only that, but also influenced by it, many large companies will come to seek cooperation.
This has also made MIT one of the richest universities in the world in recent years. This is difficult to deal with. After all, Bao Zixuan is linked to MIT, so many countermeasures cannot be too obvious. The alumni group alone is not easy to mess with, not to mention that they themselves are also very powerful.
At this time, MacDonald and Henry Ford II really wanted to buy the Boston Post and dissolve it immediately. Because the Boston Post spoke so well of Bao Zixuan and introduced Heiyun Motors perfectly.
It seems that if the Ministry of National Defense does not hand over military vehicle orders to Heiyun Automobile, it is a waste of taxpayers' money and is also irresponsible for the lives of soldiers. This newspaper is not an American media, why is it always talking to outsiders?
But the report has come out and the American people can see it. It can only give the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense a headache. They cannot do nothing and only think about profits.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger was also very troubled by the media reports. He really couldn't simply and crudely hand over the order to General Motors and Ford. At least enough preparations must be done to prevent the public from finding any faults.
Because not only the Boston Post, but also the Wall Street Journal spoke to Heiyun Auto.
The Wall Street Journal directly listed the advantages of Heiyun Automobile and made a detailed analysis from the perspective of cost and technology. This is the benefit of intersecting with the media, which has been fully reflected at this time.
Although Blackstone Fund has not been mainly in the United States in recent years, it is still a well-known capital on Wall Street. Although they belong to their own category, General Motors and Ford Motor Company also have capital behind them. But compared to the Blackstone Fund, it still lacks a level of connection. Although Bao Zixuan is not an American, capital is king on Wall Street, and the exclusiveness is not too strong.
In addition, the Wall Street Journal also hopes that Heiyun Group can take out some subsidiaries to go public. Heiyun Computer Company is a good choice. At present, it seems that there is a lot of hope, at least Bao Zixuan is a little unable to bear it. After all, the benefits must be shared equally, and it is impossible for one person to make all the money. Only then did the Wall Street Journal express its goodwill, which was a disguised form of asking for advice!
Among all the media, only the Washington Post reminded the military. Heiyun Auto has a special background. Will it cause certain leaks if using Heiyun Auto? Even if military vehicles are only used as transportation vehicles, the aerodynamic layout and other related technologies are also highly confidential.
To a certain extent, it has guided extremists, and many people have even begun to organize demonstrations. We don’t want Heiyun cars to enter the U.S. military. It can be said that the way it is done gives people an ugly look.
Most media reports focus on the performance of military vehicles and the specific requirements of the Ministry of Defense. The report is relatively objective and not biased.
The newspaper does not dare to offend Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. Heiyun's annual advertising and promotion expenses are quite generous. Almost most media in the United States can get some practical benefits. On the other hand, the Black Cloud promotion expenses of GM and Ford are much different. Even if they spend part of the public relations expenses this time, nothing will change.
After all, Heiyun Group is a long-term meal ticket, while GM and Ford are more temporary. No matter how much money was given at once, the media reporters would not dare to offend Bao Zixuan.
The crowd of people marching below the Pentagon could tell at a glance that someone was overriding the control behind them. Don't be too fake. Do you really think that the public is all fools?
Casper Weinberg looked at Ian Wright and said: "Tell Ford and GM, or other car manufacturers. Don't make it so fake, and tell the people below to disperse."
"The United States is a free and democratic country and must not allow any xenophobic incidents. Not only is the military not allowed to do so, but the President is also unable to explain anything."
Ian Wright certainly knows what's going on. It seems that the actions of GM and Ford have caused dissatisfaction with the Secretary of Defense.
Ian Wright: "Some people still don't understand your painstaking efforts, otherwise you should remind them."
Casper Weinberg took a closer look at the assistant. He had really underestimated him before. It is also possible to become a general from a soldier. How many people know the hardships involved.
Ian Wright worked in the Department of Defense before he took office, and was able to become the assistant secretary of defense because Casper Weinberg really had no one available. It can only be regarded as temporary. At present, it seems that Ian Wright is very qualified. And with the reputation of the Wright family, as long as there are no big problems, he, the defense minister, can't say much.
Casper Weinberg: "It's all about profit. Most of these businessmen are profit-seeking people."
"What are the current opinions of the public on media reports, or what kind of tendencies do they have."
Weinberger knew that Ian Wright had special channels, and they were not related to the Department of Defense. Let's see how this guy answers and whether he really wants to be an assistant.
No matter how powerful the Wright family is, they don't dare to do anything too obvious or excessive. Historically, no matter which country, as long as a family dared to get involved in military power, the final outcome would not be good.
If you cooperate well with your work, you will definitely be promoted vigorously during your tenure; everyone can get what they need. Casper Weinberg doesn't mind closing Ian Wright's promotion path during his tenure if he dares to hold him back.
Ian Wright thought for a while and said: "At present, most people are not too opposed to inviting Heiyun Automobile to participate in the military bidding."
"Bao Zixuan has too many supporters across the United States, and most of them are young women. Many people think that bidding for military vehicles should be handed over directly to Heiyun Motors, but they don't follow any principles. It seems that they have forgotten which country they are from. Very ignorant."
"But there are many such people, and any force must take care of them."
"This military vehicle bidding still needs to go through a few more procedures. At least all car manufacturers should take out test prototypes before making the final decision. Otherwise, Bao Zixuan will definitely not agree, and it will be difficult for the public to explain."
"Actually, these don't matter. Your Excellency the President is also concerned about this matter. He is mainly thinking about the place of registration mentioned by Bao Zixuan. There are many such companies in the United States; it is very possible to even be the number one in the world. "
What does Ian Wright mean? Could it be that the president wants to take this opportunity to suppress companies registered in the Cayman Islands? Casper Weinberger is not only the Secretary of Defense, but he also worked as a lawyer before.
I have helped many people register overseas companies. No matter which country they are in, tax avoidance is definitely inseparable from lawyers and accountants.
This seems very likely at present. Kasper Weinberg, who is well aware of the tax avoidance methods in the Cayman Islands, knows how much less taxes these companies will pay every year.
No country would object to high taxes, and of course they must be within a reasonable range.
It seems that in this Ministry of National Defense military vehicle bidding, companies registered overseas must be excluded. This can eliminate a large number of enterprises; but the benefits have been obtained, how can we just let them leave easily? The road ahead of Casper Weinberg is very difficult, and if you are not careful, you will fall into an impossible situation.
Casper Weinberg: "I understand, thank you for the reminder. Screen it to see which companies do not meet the standards. Since they do not want to hand over taxes to the United States, there is no reason for the country to give them special treatment."
Although the president's attention gave him a headache, he also knew that some decisions must be implemented. As a lawyer, it is your job to help clients avoid taxes reasonably. Now that you are the Secretary of Defense, you need to consider all issues based on the interests of the American people.
President Reagan wanted to use this military vehicle tender to make a clear statement. As a subordinate, you must understand the meaning and not embarrass the leader.
Although things developed somewhat unexpectedly, even off track. But I can’t care about that much at this time. As long as it’s good for the country, I’ll wait until things stabilize.
What makes Casper Weinberg more gratified is Ian Wright's attitude, as long as this kid is willing to work hard. Everything else is not a problem, and the current loss is nothing.
